The way to fix the Do Nothing Democrats is stop giving them a free pass every election. If Americans would just primary all the bought and owned politicians they could take back their democracy for good instead of 1 step forward 2 steps back every 8 years.

Why do you say “do-nothing” when we’ve seen the ACA, IRA, multiple impeachments, even balancing the budget and the 1996 telecom act; or going back further, the Apollo program, Clean Air act, Civil Rights act, Voting Rights act, Medicare, etc.
What did we get from Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Bush, and Trump?

The republicans and the democrats are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.
Tell me which of those democrat accomplishments you expect to matter in the slightest once trump finishes consolidating power? Especially the impeachments.
None of them will. Unless democrats do something about it.

Lol, it’s the Democrat’s fault that Republicans are tearing it down! Of course!
OP, this is what I’m talking about.

The democratic party is comprised of individuals of whom some are either incompetent in preventing/stopping, or complicit in, the republican’s tearing everything down.
You are the one who is checked out.

Obama promised universal healthcare and then implemented fucking Romneycare, a policy written by the Heritage Foundation. And this was Obama was one of the most progressive presidents in the past few decades. "Do nothing" is flattering them.
